宏智禪師廣錄 4.283

4.283

下嗣法書上堂僧問。照世光明即不問。傳家清白事如何。師云。清涵鯨海寬。冷射蟾輪窄。僧云。水向竹邊流出綠。風從華裏過來香。師云。須信龍門無宿客。僧云。桂枝不零折。和月抱將來。師云。也須親到一回始得。師乃云。不得諱有頭底。當時爾帶累別人。而今別人帶累爾。來生我家。作業相似。針線穿聯細中細。迦葉阿難不相知。人人各自住三昧。裏許轉功勳。這邊得游戲。到底還須徹根蒂。望斷冥鴻沒處秋。蒼蒼一色天連水。

Presenting the Dharma-transmission document, he ascended the hall. A monk asked, "The illuminating light of the world I do not ask about; what is the affair of transmitting the family's purity?" The Master said, "Purity contains the whale's ocean wide; cold shoots across the toad-wheel narrow." The monk said, "Water flows by the bamboos, issuing green; wind passes through the flowers, bringing fragrance." The Master said, "You must believe that at the Dragon Gate there are no overnight guests." The monk said, "Without breaking the cassia branch, I embrace it together with the moon and come." The Master said, "You must also personally arrive once before you attain it." The Master then said, "One cannot conceal that there is a head. At that time you implicated others; right now others implicate you. Being born into my family, our karma and activities are similar. Needle and thread stitch together, the finest of the fine. Kāśyapa and Ānanda do not know each other; each person abides in their own samādhi. Within this one turns one's merit; on this side one gains playful samādhi. In the end, one still must reach the root and stem: gazing into the distance until the dark wild goose has nowhere left in autumn, a vast single color where sky meets water."
